Discrete_OpAmp

A Single Ended Operational Amplifier mainly made with bipolar technology and a NMOS differential pair, two amplification stages and a Class AB output stage. Entirely designed with discrete components, soldered onto a self-made, 2 layers PCB.

Final results, in lab tests:

  • +-5V dual power supply, 10 mA current absorption, buffer configuration.
  • GBWP > 3Mhz.
  • HD2 = 40dB (second harmonic distortion).
  • Slew Rate = 1.5V/us.
  • Offset = 50mV.

Questions

How big is the OpAmp PCB?

It measures 43.8 × 31.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpAmp use?

23 parts, built around the BC847BS, BC857BS and FDG6335N. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the OpAmp KiCad files?

From the AleDedor/Discrete_OpAmp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/OpAmp/OpAmp.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpAmp design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AleDedor before reusing the design.
